Maryam: 86 **"And We will drive the criminals to..."**
The disbelievers are mentioned as being driven to the Fire with humiliation and contempt, as if they were thirsty livestock being driven to water.
- Al-Wird (The Watering Place): Refers to the thirsty, for no one approaches water except out of thirst.
- The Reality of Al-Wird: It is the journey toward water. A poet said:
Go down, go down, like the descent of a deaf sandgrouse, Dust-colored, delighted by the coolness of the water.
Thus, those who arrive at the water are named by it (al-waridun).
Al-Hasan read: "The righteous shall be gathered (yuhsharun)," and "The criminals shall be driven (yusaqun)."
